Michigan State puts its undefeated road record on the line as it travels to Evanston, IL, as it comes off a pair of overtime home victories over the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Ohio State Buckeyes.

Offensively, the team has four probable starters averaging double figures, with sophomore guard Gary Harris scoring 17.8 points a contest. Michigan State is 13-0 SU versus teams with a losing record the last two-plus seasons.

The Spartans are averaging 11.6 turnovers per game, which is the lowest total of the Tom Izzo era. Michigan State is averaging 81.7 points when playing away from the Breslin Center during the 2013-14 campaign, which is hard to ignored when looking over the college basketball odds page.

Northwestern snapped a four-game losing streak in picking up a 49-43 victory over the Illinois Fighting Illini as 5.5-point home underdogs Sunday, while going UNDER the betting total of 128. The Wildcats have two probable starters averaging in double figures, with senior Drew Crawford being the main player to handicap in scoring 15.6 points a contest.

The Wildcats have been getting a tremendous lift off the bench from Tre Demps, who is averaging 9.9 points per game.
